Oh you think if elder brother is fooling around with his life and future, younger brother should wait for him? My friend, only when you travel out of the shithole you will understand, in the mean time, APC supporters should continue deceiving themselves about Tinubu

I promise you, if only half of Nigerians knew what is obtainable outside the 6 walls of their geographical zones, they would realize how much their leaders has defrauded them, and how much they can accomplish with leaders that has character, compassion, capacity and committed.

With the little we have, if leaders were objective, honest and accountable, Nigeria won't be doing so bad as it is.

There is nothing wrong with subsidy if leaders were honest and accountable, but never. Nigeria is the only country where I know that if you present and good man for service, you become enemy of State.

Honestly, it is annoying.

They are sick of the Nigerians that went there.

Tanzania is more of a failed state than Nigeria. They have a dictator that is not only a women, no one has ever voted for her (president died and she inherited the position as VP).

Not bad leadership, you go to their country to desecrate it and do all manner and you think there won't be consequences. When they tell you no drugs, no fraud, no constituting nuisance all you lots won't hear.

Removal of referred visa status is an upgrade not a downgrade. It means no further checks or scrutiny required.

Shame on all of you that want to make this look like bad news for Nigerians. It's actually good news. Some Nigerians do too much, they h@te their country because they don't like the President. Why are you cutting your nose to spite your face? Read the breakdown below and stop shaming yourself in public!

"This is good news for Nigerians travelling to Tanzania. It removes an additional immigration screening and approval layer; however, Nigerians will still generally need a Tanzanian visa and must satisfy the normal entry requirements.

What has changed
Previously, Nigeria was classified under Tanzania’s Referred Visa Category. This meant that Nigerian applicants could face:

Additional clearance from Tanzania’s immigration headquarters.

Longer processing times—potentially several weeks.

Requirements for a Tanzanian host, invitation, referral, or supporting information.

Restrictions on obtaining a visa on arrival without prior approval.

Tanzania’s official information previously listed Nigeria among countries requiring a referral visa, with applicants advised to apply well in advance.

Under the new announcement, Nigerian nationals are no longer subject to that special referral process. The change reportedly took effect immediately following Government Gazette No. 246 of 2026.

What Nigerians can now do
Nigerians travelling to Tanzania should be able to:

Apply through Tanzania’s normal online immigration or e-visa portal.

Use designated entry points under the standard visa process.

Avoid the additional referred-visa clearance.

Travel for tourism, business, meetings, or other legitimate purposes without needing the former special referral procedure.

Recent reports also indicate that Nigerians will no longer need a Tanzanian host invitation or formal local referral specifically because of the former referred-visa classification.

What it does not mean
It does not necessarily mean visa-free entry. Nigerians should still:

Apply for the appropriate Tanzanian visa before travelling, unless the official portal specifically confirms eligibility for visa on arrival.

Hold a valid Nigerian passport, normally with sufficient validity and blank pages.

Provide travel details, accommodation information, return or onward-ticket evidence, and other documents requested by immigration.

Comply with Tanzania’s immigration, health, customs, and security requirements.

Confirm the process separately if travelling to Zanzibar, because Zanzibar may apply immigration procedures at its own entry points.

The safest approach is to use only Tanzania’s official immigration portal or confirm the requirements with the Tanzanian High Commission before booking a non-refundable trip.

Bottom line
For Nigerians, this is a positive policy change because it should make travel to Tanzania simpler, faster, and less uncertain. It removes the special clearance requirement, but it does not automatically guarantee visa approval or eliminate the need for a visa."

Well, let's see how it goes. But honestly, who is Tanzania to diminish or see us finish? if not for our current woes, fallen economy, and dollar rates. We would be building refineries, shopping malls and open our border for their citizens to come and hustle in Nigeria.

Kai! Look at the posts on this thread!

Election season is a very bad season, you see people posting about things that they don't even understand.

Tanzania has made it easier for Nigerians to travel to Tanzania! We no longer need special permission from Tanzania Immigration Service to travel to Tanzania.

Because of this people on this thread are saying that Nigeria has collapsed!

Can you imagine that??

Dont mind them, this is the real olodo uprising! Let them read, they will not. A little research would have help them.

This is the direct result of a certain segment of Nigeria's population who are abusing our passport and hard earned diplomatic privelages to go to these countries solely to engage in nefarious criminal activities.

Now dem go dey check names before dem give you visa.

When we allowed Tinubu worm his way into Aso Rock, we should have known there and then that our image in the comity of nations was in the pits.

Even in West Africa here, Ghana's John Mahama is seen as the real force - not the 'has beens' with rogue leaders who care only about stealing and plundering.

Jeez!

Right, Tinubu is singlehandedly traveling to all these places to tarnish the Name of Nigeria.
Tinubu is in Ghana, South Africa, China, India, Kenya, Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines doing petty crimes.
Continue to bury your head in the sand. Besides, this bad behavior started long before Tinubu was even a governor.
